About this fabric

Catalogued as a fabric, Mist Denim has no composition, width or performance specification supplied. The colour moves between cool denim blue, charcoal and muted grey, giving the swatch a deep but softened appearance rather than a bright or saturated blue. Irregular pale patches drift across the surface, while darker areas add depth through the middle and along the edges. A restrained, diffused sheen catches in the lighter passages, emphasising the fabric’s misted, brushed-looking texture.

How to use it

Use Mist Denim on a sofa, lounge chair or headboard where its cool smoky tone can anchor pale timber, chalky neutrals and brushed metal. Its charcoal-blue depth also works well against warm leather or muted ochre accents.

Use this deep, smoky denim blue to bring a cool, atmospheric character to upholstered seating.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
